Overview

5 Minute EMA Strategy plots fast and slow moving averages (supporting EMA, SMA, RMA, or WMA) directly on the price chart. Users can enable an optional higher-timeframe EMA macro filter to restrict trades to the broader trend. Trade management features include percentage-based stop loss, take profit, trailing stops, and lookback limits for entry orders.
